#7 Yeah it's pronounced maroon.

#8 No it is pronounced Moron (bothy Os as in Corps, not as in rose). If memory doesn't fail me its complete name is Moron de la Frontera (ie it was on the border between Moors and Christians). Moron could be Spanish superlative for Moro (Moor) ie the big Moorish City on the border.

Note: There is a number of "de la Frontera" cities in South Spain. The far better known of them is Jerez de la Frontera

#9 I presume that Vichy Spain will be handing those cities back to the moslems soon.
